221 Taking a tour (2/2)
Don already started to walk as he quickly ran behind him.
When Lord Clemo stepped inside, he gaped at the splendid sight before him. The floor was tiled in fine marble, which made every step echo. chandeliers made golden colors dance across the luxurious hall. Embroidered silk sofas and fancy tables made of fine oak arranged in a spacious manner. The twin doors that led into the lobby were a pristine white with golden handles as The reception counter before the twin door was made of amber-colored wood and a green granite top. Exquisite paintings hung from the rich, white-colored walls and the edges of the walls were painted in golden color which perfectly matched the color of the chandeliers. Even the door hinges were engraved with swirls and elegant designs.
”These paintings?”
Don saw these paintings before in Amber's room and looking at them now, he realized that she found a place to showcase her other talents too.
”I'm impressed”
Reghys would never say this very often but even she was awed by the dining area of their new restaurant.
Lord Clemo was running his hand on the table clothes and feeling the softness of the sofas as he was longing to rest his bottom on the sofa.
”What do you think, Lord Clemo?”
Don asked Lord Clemo who was running around the place like an excited child.
”Your majesty, this is wonderful, how did you pull this off in this short amount of time?”
”I didn't, my men did”
Don patted the dwarf on the back and showed his appreciation. The dwarf was brimming with pride and joy inside
”Me king, come on, I'll show tha cooking area”
Don nodded and followed the dwarf to the cooking area located behind the dining hall.
”Your majesty”
”Me king”
When he entered the cooking area, he was greeted by the workers who were fitting the high-end burners that produce high heat flame and ovens.
Don had no idea about some of the devices around the area but its Amaryll's area of expertise, not his.
”We tweaked tha burners, me king, so ye don't have ta worry aboot tha soot stains”
The dwarf started to explain all kinds of things they did and didn't as Don kept nodding his head and tried to make sense out of these things.
After the dining hall and the cooking area, Don followed the dwarf to the third floor ignoring the second floor, and entered one of the rooms on the third floor. According to the dwarf, there were only five rooms on the third floor unlike the twenty rooms on the second floor.
The room he in was huge and didn't look like an inn's room at all but more like a guest room in his palace. The bed was king-sized with pure white, fancy cotton sheets. There was a fireplace to keep the room warm and comfy, a sprawling leather sofa in front of the fireplace, and, on the other side of the room, the floor-to-ceiling windows were like a private terrace. Every item like the table, candleholders, even the chandeliers in the room seemed like made of marble.
”Your majesty, look at this”
Lord Clemo was already awed by the room's fanciness but when he opened the door to the attached restroom, he was in for another surprise.
The restroom's walls were fitted with shining pearl-like tiles and the picture of clouds and sun was painted on the ceiling to add an extra charm to the area.
”What is this?”
Lord Clemo stood under the circular metal that had hundreds of tiny holes as the dwarf proudly walked near the lever on the wall.
”We call this shower, me king, using this, we don't longer need to get the water from the well,” Huggor proudly proclaimed. ”It is not necessary to use the same bathwater for days and look for the maid to replace the water. If you want to take a bath, you simply have to stand under the shower and pull the lever.”
Lord Clemo jumped back when the water rushed out of the showerhead.
”Where does the water come from?” Lord Clemo was confused as Arwen stuck his hand out and touched the water, ”It's warm”
”In simple words, Huggor”
Don said as he didn't want the dwarf to lecture them about this shower for a long time.
”We attached a tank full of water behind this wall, me king, Lord Nik”
Don quickly cleared his throat as the dwarf quickly realized that Lord Clemo should not know about Nikalas.
”Tha runes an' tha device attached ta tha pipes wou' force tha water from tha tank an' let it flow with a force through this shower head, me king. A single low-quality life stone cou' keep this shower running for three ta four month”
”Low-quality life stone?!”
Lord Clemo couldn't believe what he had just heard
”We need to spend wealth to make more, Lord Clemo”
This whole room was bigger than Lord Clemo's living room and fancier than even Don's chamber in his castle and Lord Clemo shuddered to think how much it might cost to stay a night in this place for a night.
